Local considerations
Long cold winters with widespread boiler and oil heating alongside gas furnaces. A heating system with deferred maintenance in Wilkes Barre is more likely to fail during the first genuinely cold stretch, because cold is what moves marginal components over the threshold.
Heat pump performance in Wilkes Barre depends on outdoor temperature in a way that gas equipment does not. The capacity drop at low ambient temperatures is normal and predictable, and sizing accounts for it with auxiliary heat.

What is your thermostat reading?
Drag the dial to the temperature your thermostat shows now. The readout names the likely cause band, how urgent it is, and which page to read next.

- Likely cause band
- Cooling capacity loss: dirty coil, low refrigerant charge from a leak, or a failing capacitor.

- Read next
- AC not cooling
What to do while you wait
- Switch the thermostat off so the system stops attempting ignition over and over.
- Confirm the gas supply valve is open and that a service switch has not been knocked off.
- Check the filter. A blocked one makes the furnace overheat and shut itself down.
- Keep interior doors open so the warmth remaining in the house distributes evenly.

Call (855) 321-3194Questions
Wilkes Barre HVAC questions
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm?
If any gas appliance runs in the home, yes. Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless, and a working alarm near sleeping areas is the only reliable warning. If one sounds, leave the building and call 911 from outside.
Do you work on boilers in Wilkes Barre?
Yes, where a provider covering your ZIP code handles them. Boiler faults run to pressure loss, circulator pumps, expansion tanks and zone valves, which is a different skill set from forced-air work. Say so when you call.
Why does my furnace smell when it first runs?
A brief dusty smell on the first run of the season is normal as dust burns off the heat exchanger. A persistent burning smell, or any electrical smell, is not. Shut it off and call.
What if I smell gas?
Leave the building first, then call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not operate light switches, thermostats or phones on your way out. Call us afterwards, once the utility has made the property safe.
Why are my upstairs radiators cold?
Usually trapped air or a circulation problem rather than a failed boiler. Bleeding radiators resolves some of it. If pressure keeps dropping after bleeding, there is a leak somewhere in the loop worth finding.
